The 110 may be one of the worst tanks on tier VIII right now, it's hurt badly by powercreep and WG not updating old tanks to be balanced in comparison with the new ones.

You can't stop people from buying tier VIII as most are bobs, who are not even on the forums and the ones that are here, except those who post one ragepost and are back in the game, usually know the situation of WoT pretty well.

I also asked here before wasting money on a tier VIII premium and I think I'll wait until they fix the mm and the powercreep at least a tiny bit.

i'm not investing in wg products anymore, tough, we have to recognize that by playing wot we give wg money, because if we play poorly, no premium features, the players that don't care will benefit fron that and invest even more because they like to easy kill crap thanks in their OP premium.

The grind to the 110's top gun was agony because 59%* of my battles in it have been at tier 10. 175mm pen is bad enough, but the Chinese D25 variants tend to fire their shell into the ground 30 yards in front of the tank so often that it's just stupid. I do like the 110 with the top gun, though.

However, the current MM means that I won't be buying any more premium tank bundles where you get x5 XP boosters for a certain number of victories where you finish in the top 10. Being bottom tier more than half the time means that if I'm on the winning side then it's not really because of my performance, and if I do manage to scrape into the top 10 then my score is so bad that 5 x rubbish is still rubbish. The x5 booster bundles are currently pure fraud as you're lucky if you earn the same amount of XP that you'd expect without boosters before the MM change.

*I use WoT Numbers so I know the exact breakdown of my battles played in every tank. The 51 battles that I have played in the 110 so far look like this:

I playing the 110 as well, I dont have the top gun yet and I find myself using the 2 key more than I usually do. That tank has so many shortcomings, I just want to get to the top gun atleast, hope it gets better from there.

I have 26 games in tier 8 and not a single fu...ing game as top tier ... 22 tier 10 and 4 tier 9, this game is meant to make you crazy, you can't play the game anymore ... is insane, since the last pach in tier 8 is impossible to play, this craphappens every day, i have over 400 games in tier 8 premiums and not a single time top tier, i mean with tier 6 and 7 ... there where a few game in which i was top tier but full tier 8 but no more than 15 games and never REAL TOP TIER. I will quit playing this game, is to frustrating, i really cant take it.
